With Sicko Mobb, I mean, have you even listened to this yet? This album is bonkers. It was absolutely perfect for the immediate post-grad relax time and also doubled as a de-stresser once shit got bananas. Juan is such a lovable, goofy dude and his simple music is great time. Three of the most fun albums of the year are present here – Juan Wauters, Sicko Mobb & White Reaper. Definitely inspired me to re-listen to their back catalog and hoo-boy was that a good decision. But I digress – both of these albums I held the expected hesitation towards before they were released and was elated to find that they’re both awesome! Never been the most involved Sleater-Kinney fan, but this album kicks ass. The only post punk record that really crushed me this year was Viet Cong’s, which you’ll see on my Top 50.Ĭomeback albums from New Order & Sleater-Kinney succeeded with me! I even had the pleasure of working with the New Order record at college radio, which was a blast, although it was a bit dispiriting to hear “who’s New Order” or even “who’s Joy Division” from college kids who listen to music for a living. Sauna Youth & Institute also put out great post punk records that I dug a bunch, but faded quick. That one didn’t really impact on me at all. Same goes for the Protomartyr record, but to a lesser degree. I thought the Ought record was great, but something about it was just… I dunno, not spectacular. Not really sure what happened, but for some reason I had a bit of a fallout with it.
Something happened with me and post punk this year. Just sample around – there are some similar rhythms all over the place. Speaking of “6 God” I’m 100% certain that the beat was lifted from Donkey Kong Country 2.
I’m one step closer to fully understanding the 6 God, maybe 2016 will make me a true believer. There’s still the occasional line that makes me throw my headphones across the room, but wow his aesthetic came through hard and fast on this thing and its undeniably intoxicating. I gotta hand it to If You’re Reading This… as it finally converted me into somewhat of a Drake fan. White Reaper – White Reaper Does It Again.Drake – If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.Also 50 and 15 is cleaner, capiche? Bada boom bada bing, let’s see these honorable mentions of 2015: It would get ugly, let’s put it that way. Norm is a fragile, fragile man with a weak mind. A list of 65 would break the norm and you know how I hate breaking Norm. I wanted to make a list of 50 because I always make a list of 50. Let me stress this again though, these are very, very good. Driehaus Foundation.Hello valued reader – welcome to the list of records that are good but not as good as 50 others according to me.
